Z3 Style Fender... Too Rice?

Alright, been buying abunch of body parts, and really like these fenders.



Alright, I like them by themselves, but I think they might look too ricey. I've already got the AAD Cobra Hood, the Cervinis front bumper ready for paint, and I feel when everything is put together it will look ricey.

Picture isn't great, more at Erebuni

Oh, and that website has them for $900. Found them for $725, and I actually know someone who can probabley get them for cost through NOPI.

Alright, too ricey? I definatley don't want to spend that much. These are cheaper and IMHO less ricey.



Oh, and main reason I want to do fenders, is the above fenders are cheaper then getting the antenna and emblems shaved.

So, which looks better, I just feel like I will get everything done and it will have that busy, ricey, not well thought out, confusing look.

You're worried about rice but you're putting the Cervinis bumper on?

I dunno how good of a look you really got at it, it's just like an elongated Cobra R Bumper. Got it and I really like the look of it.

Not Sure about who makes the second set, just found them on eBay. Called GT3 fenders or something of the sort. None of these have any great information on them, and I don't know anyone who has put them on. That's why I feel the more expensive ones would have a better overall fit.

I think the GT3 fenders would look good with a lil grille behind it, kinda mesh as opposed to just black.

I got a pretty good look at it if it's this one here:



I think all that stuff is rice. As long as you like it though, all that matters.

I agree with everyone else. The first fenders are definitely rice. The second could look good, but may be over the top with the cervini's front bumper. To each his own I guess, but IMO the stock Lightning bumper is a work of art. Slightly understated, but classy. The stock bumper with those fenders and grilles covering up the openings would be badass tho...
